Chaos Arena was a monthly arena event in The Elder Scrolls Legends. It was centered around Sheogorath and featured an updated temporary Versus Arena. All players logging in during the event got a free core set card pack after the event. Standard modes were still available during the event.
The first Chaos Arena took place from December 14, 2016 until December 20, 2016, and was popular enough that it was made a monthly event. The Chaos Arena was discontinued during the switch to the Sparkypants client and has not returned.
GameplayEdit
Chaos Arena has the same rules Versus Arena with the exception that every match features one or two special scenarios or lanes. The avatar art is humorously edited, and the lanes feature art specific to the type of lane, as well. On November 17, Wabbajack was introduced as a new feature. You can use Wabbajack up to five times during a draft to transform your three card picks into three new random cards. The Wabbajacked cards are the same rarity as the original picks, but are not restricted by your chosen class.
RanksEdit
As with the Versus and Solo Arena, every time you earn a rank, you earn a promotion reward of fifty gold. You earn a rank every time you defeat seven opponents. Chaos Arena shares its ranking system with Versus Arena, but is independent from Solo Arena, though the progression and naming scheme are identical.
A list of ranks follows:
 |
Pit Dog (Rank 9) |
 |
Brawler (Rank 8) |
 |
Bloodletter (Rank 7) |
 |
Myrmidon (Rank 6) |
 |
Warrior (Rank 5) |
 |
Gladiator (Rank 4) |
 |
Hero (Rank 3) |
 |
Champion (Rank 2) |
 |
Grand Champion (Rank 1) |
